American Keegan Bradley sunk a birdie on the 18th to leapfrog Adam Scott and take a one-shot lead following the third round of the BMW Championship.
Bradley made the most of a rollercoaster day, splitting eight birdies with six bogeys to card a two-under 70 and head into the final day at Castle Pines Golf Club on 12-under par.
He overtook Scott for the top spot on the final hole, with the Australian struggling to a third-round score of 74 – with two late birdies helping him keep in touch with Bradley.
Speaking after his round, Scott said: “I felt like I made a meal of that, and I didn’t feel like I did that much wrong – a couple of drives were just not quite right, and a three-putt, and all of a sudden I’m kind of chasing.
“I’m in a good spot at the end of it to be one back.”
The Swedish duo of Ludvig Åberg and Alex Noren are tied for third on 10-under par, after carding 71 and 70 respectively.
American Xander Schauffele is three shots further back on seven under.
